Some winter deck feeding
Some winter deck feeding
bird feeding frenzy feb 2009 central florida
Pigeons are giving thanks for food by “beaking” my window (I hope it holds…)
Alright, here’s the situation.
Yesterday evening, my family found our cat attacking and trying to eat a baby Blue Jay. After getting it away from our cat, we put it in a box without handling it by our own hands with a sweater lining the bottom, and placed cat food softened with water in a bowl inside the box with it.
He made it through the night without dying of shock, and now he’s actually really vocal, and bouncing around inside the box trying to get out. We draped a towel over it to calm the bird. It’s still too young to fly, though, and the main problem?
We have NO idea where the nest is. We don’t seem to have any blue jays around here that this fellow could belong to.
So my problem now are two things: Feeding it, and getting it to a shelter.
So, can anyone hand me a website link of a center or shelter in Fresno, CA. that will take a baby blue jay and rehabilitate it, or take care of it? I’ve looked everywhere..
The bird is unharmed. It seems to have ruffled tail feathers, but other than that, it doesn’t appear to have any injuries.
I found a baby bird in our back yard and i dont know what to feed it…..it has spikes for feathers and is about 4 inches long. I have dealt with 2 baby squirrels before and they survived and then i set them free. Now i found a baby bird and i think it may be a blue jay(not sure) and it is still relatively small and i dont know what to feed it.
Any answers would be greatly appreciated…=)
I found him about 20 minites ago, he is healthy, easy to handle.
No problems, just got knocked out of a tree by wind.
What to feed him and how?
Will this little bird eat on his own?
Thank you!
Ok, I just turned him over and he has a bloody chest. He is in a laundry basket and very calm.
So, in the morning he is going to the wildlife vet.
Hey! Don’t forget to feed your friends this wintertime so they don’t starve, rot, die and stink up your garage!!! LOL…..really though, doesn’t it just feel good to be nice. +++++++++++ Sharing my photography photographs with you featuring wildlife and nature at barberelli.redbubble.com
